Since you mention target-screen placement :)  We are having a bit of 
trouble getting this right on the Ubuntu Live CD. We have decided that 
we want to place the target window on the lower half of the screen to 
ensure that it doesn't cover the settings window and because this is 
what users will be used to from Windows.

So ideally, I guess we should detect the users screen resolution and 
even panel placements and base the placement coordinates on that. But at 
this point I'd be happy to just assume a screen size like 1024x768 and 
place it accordingly as an initial default. (People with a smaller 
screen will have issues from that, but larger will be fine). Trouble is 
we cant even get gnopernicus to pick up the default settings that are 
given in the gconf schema file included with the package.

Any ideas?
